Structural information and architectural information should develop in detail, and services design may include generic information about sizes, capacity and control systems. The model may allow early contractor engagement, and an outline construction sequence may be developed. Plans, cross sections, elevations, and visualisations may be produced as well as schedules of facilities.

Clash avoidance (rather than detection) should be a continuous part of the process. Software-driven clash detection can provide a safety net, but should not be used as a substitute for careful design.
